Chapter 1024
She suddenly recalled what Adeena had said. All of the gifts that seemed to have been given to her by fate actually already had prices attached to them that required payment for them.
How much did she have to sacrifice before she could possess them…?
And was the sacrifice something she could afford?
Ruth raised her eyes to look at the man before her. “ Daniel, why do you keep giving me things? I want to know the real reason.”
The question stumped Daniel. He really did not know how
to answer it.
But when he saw the persistence in the girl’s eyes, he could only form an excuse on the fly. “On the night of the banquet, I couldn’t bear to see such a beautiful girl get embarrassed … As for today, when I saw these things, I thought they really suited you.”
Ruth’s eyes shone. “So you’re saying that you bought these specially for me?”
“I didn’t buy them myself…” Daniel revealed part of the truth. “Someone else bought them, you don’t have to thank me so much.”
Ruth thought an assistant or a secretary must have bought them. But he still had to give the order before they went and bought them.
‘Did this man really fall in love with me at first sight?‘
The giddiness she felt enveloped her. She was temporarily unwilling to think about those unreasonable things..
It was not until noon, after the two had taken their lunch together, did Daniel drive Ruth back to the apartment.
Adeena returned to the apartment after she fled Winters Corporation. She had been feeling restless all morning.
She poured out a glass of red wine and stood on the balcony of the apartment, gazing at the scenery as she took a sip from time to time. Soon, her impetuous mood subsided.
Just as she was about to go make lunch in the kitchen, she saw a car pulling up in front of the apartment.
